Don't miss a great night of music with the Josh Abbott Band on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Ruidoso Downs Race Track.

When fans of Texas-bred Josh Abbott Band hear the four-track EP “Catching Fire”, they’re likely to reconnect with a sound from the not-so-distant past. Fans will hear songs of positivity built on solid country textures and unified by Abbott’s congenial-but-experienced voice. The seven-piece group cut its teeth with hooky melodies that deliver real-world stories as a hard-touring act. Led by true-to-life cycles in Abbott’s life, JAB explored new territory with its last two albums—documenting the dissolution of a marriage in “Front Row” and adding strings with a horn section to “Until My Voice Goes Out”. The new JAB release “Catching Fire” captures a sense of personal renewal. Texas Tech Alumni weekend will be held at Ruidoso Downs in conjunction with the performance.
